STATIONS OF THE CROSS AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

On Fridays in Lent at 7 p.m. a handful of us gather in the church to walk the Stations of the Cross. All Souls is blessed with beautiful stations, made especially for our church in the 1990s. Of the fourteen stations, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels and six are based upon traditional stories about Jesus making his way through Jerusalem to Calvary. The simple weekly service allows us to walk to each station and pause for a reading from scripture and a prayer. We sing a verse of a traditional hymn between each station.
